-*- coding: utf-8 -*-
Changes with Apache 2.3.6
*) mod_session: Session expiry was being initialised, but not updated
on each session save, resulting in timed out sessions when there
should not have been. Fixed. [Graham Leggett]
*) mod_log_config: Add the R option to log the handler used within the
request. [Christian Folini <christian.folini netnea com>]
*) Allow fine control over the removal of Last-Modified and ETag headers
within the INCLUDES filter, making it possible to cache responses if
desired. Fix the default value of the SSIAccessEnable directive.
[Graham Leggett]
*) Allow the Define directive to undefine a variable by prefixing the
argument with a '!'. PR 35350. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) Make ap_pregsub(), used by AliasMatch and friends, use the same syntax
for regex backreferences as mod_rewrite and mod_include: Remove the use
of '&' as an alias for '$0' and allow to escape any character with a
backslash. PR 48351. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) mod_authnz_ldap: If AuthLDAPCharsetConfig is set, also convert the
password to UTF-8. PR 45318.
[Johannes Müller <joh_m gmx.de>, Stefan Fritsch]
*) ab: Fix calculation of requests per second in HTML output. PR 48594.
[Stefan Fritsch]
*) mod_authnz_ldap: Failures to map a username to a DN, or to check a user
password now result in an informational level log entry instead of
warning level. [Eric Covener]
Changes with Apache 2.3.5
*) Ensure each subrequest has a shallow copy of headers_in so that the
parent request headers are not corrupted. Elimiates a problematic
optimization in the case of no request body. PR 48359
[Jake Scott, William Rowe, Ruediger Pluem]
*) Turn static function get_server_name_for_url() into public
ap_get_server_name_for_url() and use it where appropriate. This
fixes mod_rewrite generating invalid URLs for redirects to IPv6
literal addresses. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) mod_ldap: Introduce new config option LDAPTimeout to set the timeout
for LDAP operations like bind and search. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) mod_proxy, mod_proxy_ftp: Move ProxyFtpDirCharset from mod_proxy to
mod_proxy_ftp. [Takashi Sato]
*) mod_proxy, mod_proxy_connect: Move AllowCONNECT from mod_proxy to
mod_proxy_connect. [Takashi Sato]

[Dodou Wang <wangdong.08 gmail.com>, Ruediger Pluem]
*) mod_proxy_balancer: Fix crash in balancer-manager. [Rainer Jung]
*) Core HTTP: disable keepalive when the Client has sent
Expect: 100-continue
but we respond directly with a non-100 response.
Keepalive here led to data from clients continuing being treated as
a new request.
PR 47087 [Nick Kew]
*) Core: reject NULLs in request line or request headers.
PR 43039 [Nick Kew]
*) Core: (re)-introduce -T commandline option to suppress documentroot

PR 47066 [Nick Kew]
*) mod_filter: enable it to act on non-200 responses.
PR 48377 [Nick Kew]
Changes with Apache 2.3.4
*) Replace AcceptMutex, LockFile, RewriteLock, SSLMutex, SSLStaplingMutex,
and WatchdogMutexPath with a single Mutex directive. Add APIs to
simplify setup and user customization of APR proc and global mutexes.
(See util_mutex.h.) Build-time setting DEFAULT_LOCKFILE is no longer
respected; set DEFAULT_REL_RUNTIMEDIR instead. [Jeff Trawick]
*) http_core: KeepAlive no longer accepts other than On|Off.
[Takashi Sato]
*) mod_dav: Remove errno from dav_error interface. Calls to dav_new_error()
and dav_new_error_tag() must be adjusted to add an apr_status_t parameter.
[Jeff Trawick]

PR 42896. [Stefan Fritsch]
*) mod_dav_fs: Make PUT create files atomically and no longer destroy the
old file if the transfer aborted. PR 39815. [Paul Querna, Stefan Fritsch]
*) mod_dav_fs: Remove inode keyed locking as this conflicts with atomically
creating files. On systems with inode numbers, this is a format change of
the DavLockDB. The old DavLockDB must be deleted on upgrade.
[Stefan Fritsch]
*) mod_log_config: Make ${cookie}C correctly match whole cookie names
instead of substrings. PR 28037. [Dan Franklin <dan dan-franklin.com>,
Stefan Fritsch]

after a form login. Fixes a missing REMOTE_USER variable directly
following a login. [Graham Leggett]
*) mod_session_cookie: Make sure that cookie attributes are correctly
included in the blank cookie when cookies are removed. This fixes an
inability to log out when using mod_auth_form. [Graham Leggett]

ap_location_walk(), don't look past the start of an empty string
such as that created by a <Location ""> directive.
[Chris Darroch]
*) core, mod_proxy: If a kept_body is present, it becomes safe for
subrequests to support message bodies. Make sure that safety
checks within the core and within the proxy are not triggered
when kept_body is present. This makes it possible to embed
proxied POST requests within mod_include. [Graham Leggett]
*) mod_auth_form: Make sure the input filter stack is properly set
up before reading the login form. Make sure the kept body filter
is correctly inserted to ensure the body can be read a second
time safely should the authn be successful. [Graham Leggett,
Ruediger Pluem]
*) mod_request: Insert the KEPT_BODY filter via the insert_filter
hook instead of during fixups. Add a safety check to ensure the
filters cannot be inserted more than once. [Graham Leggett,

*) ap_cache_cacheable_headers_out() will (now) always
merge an error headers _before_ clearing them and _before_
merging in the actual entity headers and doing normal
hop-by-hop cleansing. [Dirk-Willem van Gulik].
*) cache: retire ap_cache_cacheable_hdrs_out() which was used
for both in- and out-put headers; and replace it by a single
ap_cache_cacheable_headers() wrapped in a in- and out-put
specific ap_cache_cacheable_headers_in()/out(). The latter
which will also merge error and ensure content-type. To keep
cache modules consistent with ease. This API change bumps
up the minor MM by one [Dirk-Willem van Gulik].
*) mod_rewrite: Allow Cookie option to set secure and HttpOnly flags.
PR 44799 [Christian Wenz <christian wenz.org>]
*) Move the KeptBodySize directive, kept_body filters and the
ap_parse_request_body function out of the http module and into a
new module called mod_request, reducing the size of the core.
[Graham Leggett]
*) mod_dbd: Handle integer configuration directive parameters with a
dedicated function.
*) Change the directives within the mod_session* modules to be valid
both inside and outside the location/directory sections, as
suggested by wrowe. [Graham Leggett]
*) mod_auth_form: Add a module capable of allowing end users to log
in using an HTML form, storing the credentials within mod_session.
[Graham Leggett]

form request with the type of application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
[Graham Leggett]
*) mod_session_crypto: Initialise SSL in the post config hook.
[Ruediger Pluem, Graham Leggett]
*) mod_session_dbd: Add a session implementation capable of storing
session information in a SQL database via the dbd interface. Useful
for sites where session privacy is important. [Graham Leggett]
*) mod_session_crypto: Add a session encoding implementation capable
of encrypting and decrypting sessions wherever they may be stored.
Introduces a level of privacy when sessions are stored on the
browser. [Graham Leggett]
*) mod_session_cookie: Add a session implementation capable of storing
session information within cookies on the browser. Useful for high
volume sites where server bound sessions are too resource intensive.
[Graham Leggett]
*) mod_session: Add a generic session interface to unify the different
attempts at saving persistent sessions across requests.
[Graham Leggett]
*) core, authn/z: Avoid calling access control hooks for internal requests
with configurations which match those of initial request. Revert to
original behaviour (call access control hooks for internal requests
with URIs different from initial request) if any access control hooks or
providers are not registered as permitting this optimization.
Introduce wrappers for access control hook and provider registration
which can accept additional mode and flag data. [Chris Darroch]
*) Introduced ap_expr API for expression evaluation.
This is adapted from mod_include, which is the first module
to use the new API.
[Nick Kew]
*) mod_authz_dbd: When redirecting after successful login/logout per
AuthzDBDRedirectQuery, do not report authorization failure, and use
first row returned by database query instead of last row.

as true requests with an internal redirect. This allows for
mod_cache et.al. to trap the results of the redirect.
[Dirk-Willem van Gulik, Ruediger Pluem]
*) mod_ldap: Add support (taking advantage of the new APR capability)
for ldap rebind callback while chasing referrals. This allows direct
searches on LDAP servers (in particular MS Active Directory 2003+)
using referrals without the use of the global catalog.

*) mod_serf: New module for Reverse Proxying. [Paul Querna]
*) core: Add the option to keep aside a request body up to a certain
size that would otherwise be discarded, to be consumed by filters
such as mod_include. When enabled for a directory, POST requests
to shtml files can be passed through to embedded scripts as POST
requests, rather being downgraded to GET requests. [Graham Leggett]

on Win32. PR 40476. [Tom Donovan <Tom.Donovan acm.org>]
*) The LockFile directive, which specifies the location of
the accept() mutex lockfile, is deprecated. Instead, the
AcceptMutex directive now takes an optional lockfile
location parameter, ala SSLMutex. [Jim Jagielski]
*) mod_authn_dbd: Export any additional columns queried in the SQL select
into the environment with the name AUTHENTICATE_<COLUMN>. This brings
mod_authn_dbd behaviour in line with mod_authnz_ldap. [Graham Leggett]
*) mod_dbd: Key the storage of prepared statements on the hex string
value of server_rec, rather than the server name, as the server name
may change (eg when the server name is set) at any time, causing
weird behaviour in modules dependent on mod_dbd. [Graham Leggett]
*) mod_proxy_fcgi: Added win32 build. [Mladen Turk]
*) sendfile_nonblocking() takes the _brigade_ as an argument, gets
the first bucket from the brigade, finds it not to be a FILE
bucket and barfs. The fix is to pass a bucket rather than a brigade.
[Niklas Edmundsson <nikke acc.umu.se>]
*) mod_rewrite: support rewritemap by SQL query [Nick Kew]
*) ap_get_server_version() has been removed. Third-party modules must
now use ap_get_server_banner() or ap_get_server_description().
[Jeff Trawick]
*) All MPMs: Introduce a check_config phase between pre_config and
open_logs, to allow modules to review interdependent configuration
directive values and adjust them while messages can still be logged
to the console. Handle relevant MPM directives during this phase
and format messages for both the console and the error log, as
appropriate. [Chris Darroch]
*) mod_proxy: don't URLencode tilde in path component
[Stijn Hoop <stijn sandcat.nl>]
*) mpm_winnt: Fix return values from wait_for_many_objects.
The return value is index to the signaled thread in the
creted_threads array. We can not use WAIT_TIMEOUT because
his value is defined as 258, thus limiting the MaxThreads
to that value. [Mladen Turk]
*) core: Do not allow internal redirects like the DirectoryIndex of mod_dir
to circumvent the symbolic link checks imposed by FollowSymLinks and
SymLinksIfOwnerMatch. [Nick Kew, Ruediger Pluem, William Rowe]
*) New SSLLogLevelDebugDump [ None (default) | IO (not bytes) | Bytes ]

*) Authz: Add the new module mod_authn_core that will provide common
authn directives such as 'AuthType', 'AuthName'. Move the directives
'AuthType' and 'AuthName' out of the core module and merge mod_authz_alias
into mod_authn_core. [Brad Nicholes]
*) Authz: Move the directives 'Order', 'Allow', 'Deny' and 'Satisfy'
into the new module mod_access_compat which can be loaded to provide
support for these directives.
[Brad Nicholes]
*) Authz: Move the 'Require' directive from the core module as well as
add the directives '<SatisfyAll>', '<SatisfyOne>', '<RequireAlias>'
and 'Reject' to mod_authz_core. The new directives introduce 'AND/OR'
logic into the authorization processing. [Brad Nicholes]
*) Authz: Add the new module mod_authz_core which acts as the
authorization provider vector and contains common authz
directives. [Brad Nicholes]
*) Authz: Renamed mod_authz_dbm authz providers from 'group' and
'file-group' to 'dbm-group' and 'dbm-file-group'. [Brad Nicholes]

*) Asynchronous write completion for the Event MPM. [Brian Pane]
*) Added an End-Of-Request bucket type. The logging of a request and
the freeing of its pool are now done when the EOR bucket is destroyed.
This has the effect of delaying the logging until right after the last
of the response is sent; ap_core_output_filter() calls the access logger
indirectly when it destroys the EOR bucket. [Brian Pane]
*) Rewrite of logresolve support utility: IPv6 addresses are now supported
and the format of statistical output has changed. [Colm MacCarthaigh]
*) Rewrite of ap_coreoutput_filter to do nonblocking writes [Brian Pane]
